Trivia

• Saffron Henderson was replaced by Jillian Michaels as Gohan in the Ocean Group dub of Dragonball Z. Henderson had been voicing the character from the very beginning (since 1996) but had to quit just before voice work began on the Cell Games Saga. The reason being is that her wedding, which took place sometime in January or February 2001, conflicted with her allotted work schedule for the series.
